Explore performance as a way of knowing with award-winning actress, playwright, and professor Anna Deavere Smith.
This is the third lecture in the four-part series Chasing That Which Is Not Me / Chasing That Which Is Me, the 73rd A. W. Mellon Lectures in the Fine Arts, and will feature photographs by Diana Walker.
Since 1980, Smith has been interviewing Americans through her project “On the Road: A Search for American Character,” which she eventually developed into a new form of theater. Delivered with segments of performance, these lectures will examine materials collected from these interviews over the course of Smith’s career.
